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 :)

They are dancers who wear less of a costume than most men wear to the beach. See http://www.chippendales.com/
They wear wigs because of the stereotype that all Irish dancers have curly hair. Someone came up with the idea to make curly wigs to make money and dancers have been wearing them ever since.
At my school of Irish dance we do wear wigs. If you already have curly hair then you dont have to. If you are a little kid then you also dont have to because the wig would be the same size as your body.

They wore wigs because it was the style back then. But they also thought that showers were unnecessary so that caused them to get lice. After that they would shave their wigs and have to wear wigs.
