Hello,
Right, my problem is a screw in my Right rear tyre.
My questions are:
1) Can it be repaired?
2) Is it safe to drive?
Here are the pics:
Thanks,
Alan.

That too close to the side wall for most places to repair iirc shame those tyres have decent tread on them 
as for being safe to drive on :S Your call if the tyre isn't going flat though it is a matter of time before it damages the tyre and it does which could be a slow puncture or a blow out, would be wrong of anyone to advise it as safe (in case you take us to court over it  )

As Dillon said I dont think they will repair it, so could mean new tyre

You MAY be able to have a special repair done, that involves sending the tyre away, takes around a week.
Its far to near the edge for a normal tyre repair.
Anybody that repairs that with a normal tyre repair patch wants there hands chopping off!

Go for it if you want, im not a fan.
I deal with a hell of a lot of tyres from all different backgrounds and seeing what the slightest damage can finally create puts me off.
4 contact patchs on a car, don't compromise on them.

They wouldn't patch that, they'd plug it.
