170 GOVERNMENT OF THE LEGION CHAPTER 28
4. The Concilium may combine with its own proper
functions the functions of a subordinate council or councils.

5. The Concilium Legionis Mariae shall consist of the
officers of every legionary body which is directly affiliated to
the Concilium. The officers of the senior Curiae of the
Archdiocese of Dublin form the core attendance at the
meetings of the Concilium. Due to distance, etc. regular
attendance on the part of the great majority of other
legionary bodies is not possible. The Concilium reserves the
right to vary the representation from the Dublin Curiae.

6. The Spiritual Director of the Concilium shall be
appointed by the Irish Episcopal Conference.

7. The elections of officers of directly affiliated councils are
subject to ratification by the Concilium.

8. The Concilium appoints correspondents to fulfil its
functions of superintendence of its distant councils. The
correspondent keeps in regular contact with the council and
from minutes received monthly prepares a report for
presentation to the Concilium meeting when required. He
attends the meetings of the Concilium and takes part in the
proceedings but, unless he is a member of the Concilium, he
has not the right to vote.

9. The duly authorised representatives of the Concilium
may enter into any legionary area, visit the legionary bodies
there, carry on work of a promotional character and generally
exercise functions which it is allowable for the Concilium to
exercise.

10. To the Concilium Legionis Mariae alone shall belong,
subject to the Statutes and rules of the Legion, the right to
amend the handbook.

11. Changes of Rule cannot be effected save with the
agreement of the great bulk of the legionary bodies. These,
through their appropriate councils, shall be notified of any
