to the best of my knowledge it is......there are lock gates at most if not all of the weirs that all you to walk around them. 1 Disclaimer though I'm more familiar with the stretch from clashganny down not the section you've mentioned.

I have only done the section from Goresbridge to St Mullins, carried boats at all locks so avoiding weirs. Fabulous paddle with stunning scenery and wildlife. Highly recommend it.
