Irreducibility and Galois group of Hecke polynomials

Let T_{n,k}(X) be the characteristic polynomial of the n-th Hecke operator acting on the space of cusp forms of weight k for the full modular group. We show that if there exists n>1 such that T_{n,k}(X) is irreducible and has the full symmetric group as Galois group, then the same is true of T_{p,k}(X) for all primes p.
