The President has undertaken this move in accordance with the Commission of Inquiries Act in order to broaden the scope of the inquiry, provide greater participation by all concerned parties and ensure transparency and clear, public results from the inquiry.

Members of the Commission remain the same as earlier gazetted by the Minister for Transport.
