    If you are sitting in your car in a pay and display area without pay and display ticket are you parked? And can a warden fine you or no pay/display

    Does it matter if the engine is on off? if you pulled in to take a phone call are you considered parked as in need pay/display

    It seems that technically you were parked if the definition in the Road Traffic Act is anything to go by:
    “park”, in relation to a vehicle, means keep or leave stationary, and cognate words shall be construed accordingly;
    http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/1961/en/act/pub/0024/sec0003.html

    A Traffic Warden only has jurisdiction over public roads including public (local authority) parking places. If it's a privately owned car park such as at a shopping centre then you cannot be fined for not displaying a parking ticket.
