81.— (1) An applicant credit institution or a participating institution shall, if NAMA so requests, produce to NAMA for inspection the credit facility documentation, books and records kept in connection with any eligible bank asset. The applicant credit institution or participating institution shall give NAMA such facilities for inspecting and taking copies of the contents of any such documentation, book or record as NAMA requires.

(2) NAMA may direct an applicant credit institution or a participating institution to procure that any of its subsidiaries—

(a) produces to NAMA for inspection the credit facility documentation, books and records kept in connection with any eligible bank asset, and

(b) gives NAMA such facilities for inspecting and taking copies of the contents of any such documentation, book or record as NAMA requires.

(3) If an applicant credit institution, participating institution or subsidiary is required under subsection (1) or (2)—

(a) to produce documentation or a book or record in connection with a bank asset to NAMA, or

(b) to provide facilities to NAMA to inspect or take copies of the contents of any such documentation, book or record,

and fails to do so, NAMA may apply to the Court, on notice to the credit institution or participating institution for an order directing the credit institution, participating institution or subsidiary to produce the documentation, book or record, or provide the facilities, as the case requires.

(4) The Court may make an order pursuant to the application under subsection (3) if the Court is satisfied that the production of the documentation, book or record, or the provision of the facilities sought is reasonably necessary to enable NAMA to perform any of its functions under this Act. The Court may make any interlocutory order (including a mandatory order) that it considers necessary in the circumstances.

(5) If the Court is satisfied that for reasons of commercial confidentiality a hearing under this section should be conducted otherwise than in public, the Court may so order.

(6) Subject to the privilege against self-incrimination, a document, book or record produced by a person in answer to a request or order under this section is admissible in evidence.
