Building upon the work of A. Booker and C. Pomerance (2017), we prove that for a prime power q ≥ 7, every residue class modulo an irreducible polynomial F ∈ \mathbbFq[X] has a non-constant, square-free representative which has no irreducible factors of degree exceeding deg~F -1. We also give applications to generating sequences of irreducible polynomials.
