Because it is much easier than having to curl your hair into ringlets.
And the ringlets are because about 50 years ago the competitions would be on a Sunday and you would always look your best for church and would curl you hair and so the girls would go to the competitions with ringlets. In modern competition, having bouncy hair gives the illusion that you are bouncing and jumping higher in the air. Thankfully, wigs came along as a much easier way to achieve the curly look than the time-consuming curling of hair.

Irish dancers don't wear bloomers, but wear more of a pair of giant knickers.-Actually yes, they do wear bloomers. I am an Irish dancer and most people wear bloomers under their dress so when they kick high, you don't see their underwear. Some people wear tights instead of bloomers, but only if it matches their dress.
Because it's fun :)
You Shouldn't! It can be very offensive to Irish dancers, who are elite in their own.
They are dancers who wear less of a costume than most men wear to the beach. See http://www.chippendales.com/
