Generally it’s not deliberate on the part of the contractors, just that the majority don't how the rooms should be treated. (Given that there are only a handful of data centres in Ireland). We do a lot of post-construction cleaning of data centres both here and in the UK and find apart from rubble, dust and rubbish things like empty drink bottles, half eaten sandwiches, cigarette butts etc. So I would definitely recommend enforcing strict operating rules during construction and fit-out.
