Actually, the correct tag is, believe it or not, - "aren �t I".

In ( Understanding and using grammar) by Betty Schramper Azar
am I not ? is formal
aren �t I is informal and this is common in spoken English |

In Scots and Irish English, the tag, amn �t I? is still used but aren �t I? is now more common.
I know this is the case in the west of Scotland, but do our Irish cousins still use this expression (Joyce used it occasionally)?
