"Saint Patrick's Day is held on March, 17th.  It's a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the British Overseas Territory of Montserrat. It is also widely celebrated by the Irish diaspora around the world, especially in Great Britain,Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand.

Notice that Question Tags can also be used to invite people politely to do things, or even to refer to nothing or everything.
