Germany is not alone Sweden, Denmark,... are also on the list....
Germany is one of the first wealthy countries when traveling by land. Ye they have good social structure but so has much of Europe. A lot of this goes around communities being set up from early on and Syrians probably know someone who has settled there and help them.
Saying that Ireland should take 20,000 refugees (we are committed to 2,500). My suggestion is to go to Lebanon (1.1m refugees there right now), ring our embassy and interview doctors, engineers(by skype). If they pass we have a daily plane importing them(and familly) to Ireland and they get processed (get housing, taught English, kids in school, permit to apply for jobs,...). Win Win...
Some might say we are cherry picking the best. YES, early bird catches the worm
Personally I would go for Netherlands...
