Abstract: We consider the irreducibility of polynomial $L_n^{(alpha)}(x)$ where $alpha$ is a negative integer. We observe that the constant term of $L_n^{(alpha)}(x)$ vanishes if and only if $ngeq|alpha|=-alpha$. Therefore we assume that $alpha=-n-s-1$ where $s$ is a non-negative integer. Let ${\displaystyle }$ g(x) = (-1)^n L_n^{(-n-s-1)}(x) = sumlimits_{j=0}^{n} a_j frac{x^j}{j!} ${\displaystyle }$ and more general polynomial, let ${\displaystyle }$ G(x) = sumlimits_{j=0}^{n} a_j b_j frac{x^j}{j!} ${\displaystyle }$ where $b_j$ with $0leqjleqn$ are integers such that $|b_0|=|b_n|=1$. Schur was the first to prove the irreducibility of $g(x)$ for $s=0$. It has been proved that $g(x)$ is irreducibile for $0leqsleq60$. In this paper, by a different method, we prove : Apart from finitely many explicitely given posibilities, either $G(x)$ is irreducible or $G(x)$ is linear factor times irreducible polynomial. This is a consequence of the estimate $s>1.9k$ whenever $G(x)$ has a factor of degree $kgeq2$ and $(n,k,s)eq(10,5,4)$. This sharpens earlier estimates of Shorey and Tijdeman and Nair and Shorey.
