Translate the variable by one:
$$
f(X+1)=2X^3+25X^2-10X-30.
$$
This satisfies <Eisenstein criterion> with $p=5$: every nonleading coefficient is divisible by $5$, while $25\nmid30$. Translation $X\mapsto X+1$ is an <automorphism of a polynomial ring>, so it preserves irreducibility. Hence \b[$f$ is irreducible over $\mathbb Q$].
