A nest representation of a strongly maximal $\text{TAF}$ algebra $A$ with diagonal $D$ is a representation $\pi $ for which $\text{Lat}\,\pi \left( A \right)$ is totally ordered. We prove that $\ker \,\pi$ is a meet irreducible ideal if the spectrum of $A$ is totally ordered or if (after an appropriate similarity) the von Neumann algebra $\text{ }\!\!\pi\!\!\text{ }{{\left( D \right)}^{\prime \prime }}$ contains an atom.
